Though the conclusion is not without controversy, we’ve been opining for some time that a healthy dose of precaution is likely warranted where cell phone use is concerned. There are a few too many studies out there suggesting that exposure to the radiation cell phones emit might be hazardous to the human brain. Now comes a new study showing that they’re not safe for developing fetuses either.

Some days, to be honest, I find myself wishing that my professional life wasn’t quite so centered on burying my head in arcane research trying to decode scientific mumbo-jumbo that seems to suggest some possible new toxicological bogeyman.
